A lberta has all the ingredients to emerge as Cana- da’s epicentre of risk capital and has a history of producing world-class companies in high-growth indus- tries. The COVID-19 pandemic and the ongoing down- turn of the natural resources sector in Alberta forced all businesses to re-evaluate their markets, risks, and prior- ities.
